Andrew coughed hoarsely but went on again after a minute, speaking more to himself than Dickie who, indeed, did not understand nearly all he had been saying. "When I got into the `Blue Bonnet' there wur three or four more of my chums a-settin' round the fire an' havin' a argyment. `'Ere, says one, `we'll hear what Andrew Martin's got to say to it.
Then Pettigrass said: "Allowin' ther' might be another man, Tom-Jeff, jest for the sake of argyment, what-all was you aimin' to do if you found him?" It was drawing on to dusk, and the electric lights of Mountain View Avenue and the colonial houses were twinkling starlike in the blue-gray haze of the valley.
"He's pushin' her away to the length of his arm." "An' she? An' she?" whispered Mrs. Daniels. "She's talkin' quick. The big wolf is standin' close to them an' turnin' his head from one face to the other like he was wonderin' which was right in the argyment." "The ways of lovers is as queer as the ways of the Lord, Sam!"
Born before the Separation, in the District of Port Phillip, Colony of New South Wales. That's his argyment, an' there's no gittin' over it. Good idear, ain't it?" "It is a good idea," I replied. "I'm glad you laid me on to it. But, Willoughby, I can't help thinking you must feel the change very acutely." "I do. But what is the use of grumbling? Ver non semper viret.
"I'm no good at words," he said "no good at argyment; but I've got a gift for stories round the fire of a night, with a pipe and a tin basin of tea; so I'm not going to try and match you. You've had a good education down at Winnipeg. Took every prize, they say, and led the school, though there was plenty of fuss because they let you do it, and let you stay there, being half-Indian.
"He's runnin' out on us," McGuffey complained. "Even so, Bart, even so. Therefore, the thing for us to do is to run out on him. In other words, we'll work a month, save our money, an' then, without a word o' complaint or argyment, we'll walk out." "Oh, I ain't exactly broke, Gib. I got eighty-five dollars." "Then," quoth Gibney decisively, "we'll go on strike to-night.
